A Viking Story

 

Meet our ‘archaeologist’ as she sets you challenges...

This is a special immersive story and a quest for school children to take part in. In your classroom, your class will watch a series of different video clips that we have made, introducing an ‘excavation’ in Gunnersbury Park. The children investigate the objects, as each week, a new clip sets further challenges, and over time, this will lead the class to reveal the identity of the Viking who once ‘owned’ those objects.

You can choose to take part in the Vikings Story Offer via either the full offer or the medium offer and these are priced separately. Alternatively, rather than get our story, challenges and clips at all, you may wish to get a basic loans box on its own which contains a different set of replica objects and is the cheapest price. You can choose from these different options according to your school's needs.
